Dodonghang Lighthouse is located on the easternmost point of Ulleungdo Island, between Dodonghang and Jeodonghang Ports. The lighthouse is also called Haengnam Lighthouse after the nearby village. On clear days, visitors can see Dokdo Island to the east from atop the lighthouse. To the north, visitors can see the beautiful landscape of Jeodonghang Port, Chotdaebawi Rock, and Seonginbong Peak.

The lighthouse opened as an unmanned lighthouse in December of 1954. However, an increase in fishing boats operating in the area led to the upgrade into a manned lighthouse in June 1979.

The Dokdo Observatory Cable Car, from which one can get a bird’s eye view of Ulleungdo Island, is a must-see tourist attraction. Located inside the Dodong Yaksu Park, the cable car takes visitors up to Manghyangbong Peak and back. When the sky is really clear (about 50 days a year), passengers can see as far as Dokdo that is located 92 kilometers away. This is also the first place to view the rising sun in Ulleungdo Island.
